| This tutorial is written in and
for PSP Version 7.04 and assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. I
am sure this can easily be done in other versions with path
modifications.
For this tutorial you will need: 
30 day trial
And you will also need the free Eye Candy 3.1 for Windows or
Mac which you can download from Tutorials
by Joyce
My Selections which you can download here.
If you need a little refresher course to
learn how to work with selections, this
is the place to go! Thanks Char :o) [she has some great tuts there you
might like to check out too!]
|
| This tutorial can be made with
and without Eye Candy 3.1.
We will make it first without, saving all
layers then for those of you who want, we will go over the layers and
add fur. :o) That way you will also have a basic copy to use for
changing colors and decorations if you want to do another one..
|
If you like, you can add the fur on each
level to save time. Feel free to also change the color of your
puppy!
Save often..!!
I like to save after each layer so I get in a good habit and don’t
forget! |
A good way Not to Lose you work after the
first save, is to set your auto-save function. You can do it like
this:
File/Preferences/Autosave
Settings
Click 'enable autosave' box
set your 'minutes' ( I keep mine on 4)
Click 'Ok'
|
NOTE:
If you are using high resolution like, 768x1046, you might not be able
to see that the marching ants are an outline to flood fill with black
when you first load your selection file.
To make this easier to fill, use your magnify glass (left click once
on your new image) to enlarge your
graphic to (2,1)
or if you leave it small, just use your paintbrush and swipe over it and it
to fill.

Ok enough talk.. Now we're ready to
start... :o)

Now your choices begin...
:o)
Get a drink and take a potty break and come back creative!!
I'll be waiting for ya.. :o)
Do you want to put a collar of
your own?
you can do it now and skip #11..
or you can follow these directions to make my
collar.
|
|
#11
make new layer name it collar
selections/load from disk 11sbpup-collar.sel

deselect
SAVE
Now..At this point there are
two
ways you can go.
You can make a buckle for the collar,
or you can skip the buckle and put a ring and name tag.
This is another choice! Both
of my directions are here below
(of course you could do your own here too)
#12 is the
buckle.
(or)
#13 and #14 are for the name tag..
|
I suppose there is a third
choice...lol.. you could do neither!! :o)
decisions decisions decisions.. hahaha..
|
|
#12 (Buckle)
make new layer name it buckle
selections/load from disk 12sbpup_buckle.sel
flood fill with white
effects/textures/sculpture/silver

Your buckle will look like this:
SAVE
|

#13 (Link and Name Tag)
make new layer - name it link
selections/load from disk 13sbpup_link.sel

effects/texture effects/sculpture/gold
effects/3d/drop shadow/same settings

|
#14

effects/texture effects/sculpture/gold
effects/3d/drop shadow/same settings
deselect
Use eraser tool with these settings:
erase left side of nametag from hole up,
to show ring as in pictures below
 to 
SAVE
|
Ok! Now if you want to
keep your basic Puppy..
he is done !!!
|
If you want to make him
fuzzy..
You can now go through the layers and use Eye Candy Fur
with these settings:
on these layers:
left leg, right leg, body, head, muzzle1, muzzle2
and he will look like this..: |
|
|
|
If you don’t have Eye
Candy or you don’t want to use it for some reason, you can use the
Effects/texture effects/fur that comes with PSP7.... but I don’t
think it works quite as well.. :o( |
